Kemp Manure Spreader

[Tyler Martin]

Hello, I'm looking for information and images / pictures of Kemp Manure Spreaders. I am looking at buying one that the owner believes is a 1911 made in Stratford Ontario Canada.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am also looking for information on the kemp spreader with the return apron, the front engate is attached and moves with the floor. when empty you reverse the chain and the end gate and the floor goes to the loading position. one of the castings has IHC on it. it is in good condition considering its over 100 years old. any info appreciated

This is more pointed at Harold's interest and my own interest but, I have '30 MD (IHC) spreader. But did IHC own or supply production parts for Kemp as well?

Further still, you would be amazed at the similarity of a Moline spreader to a McCormick Deering of the same era - they virutualy have the same trim parts.

Sorry not of much help but manure spreaders are still fun.

In Wendels farm machinery book, IHC bought Kemp spreaders for the dealers to sell. on page 244 a 1905 spreader is shown with a continous apron. It look similar to mine except mine has the return apron chain.
